Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf has responded to U.S. Central Command chief Cooper's claim that American forces have fully taken control of the Strait of Hormuz and cut off Iran's oil exports. According to Iran's PressTV, Ghalibaf reposted his own earlier message to lay out the response: the rule of the game in this war is that either everyone can sell oil or no one can. “If our security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe,” he added, and the Strait of Hormuz can only be secure without U.S. military presence. Ghalibaf also repeated that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war state. The remarks come after Cooper said U.S. forces had fully controlled the strategic waterway and severed Iranian crude shipments. Ghalibaf said Iran had made that point on multiple occasions. The report was compiled by Jinshi and originally carried by Odaily Planet Daily, citing PressTV.
Odaily Planet Daily reports, citing Iranian media PressTV, that Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf reposted an earlier message of his own in response to U.S. Central Command chief Cooper's claim that American forces have fully taken control of the Strait of Hormuz and cut off Iran's oil exports.
The rules of the game in this war are clear: either everyone can sell oil, or no one can. If our security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe. The Strait of Hormuz can only be secure in the absence of U.S. forces. We have said repeatedly that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war state.
